I think in this instance he meant combination
Are there statistics or studies that prove that blacks are treated unfairly at a disproportionate rate? Genuinely curious.

DBC in 2015 for white's outpaced black and Hispanic/Latino combined. No marches tho.
Minus the KKK of course.

The study, a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, relied on reports filled out by police officers and on police departments willing to share those reports. Recent videos of police shootings have led to questions about the reliability of such accounts. But the results were largely the same whether or not Mr. Fryer used information from narratives by officers.Such results may not be true in every city. The cities Mr. Fryer used to examine officer-involved shootings make up only about 4 percent of the nation’s population, and serve more black citizens than average.Moreover, the results do not mean that the general public’s perception of racism in policing is misguided. Lethal uses of force are exceedingly rare. There were 1.6 million arrests in Houston in the years Mr. Fryer studied. Officers fired their weapons 507 times. What is far more common are nonlethal uses of force.And in these uses of force, Mr. Fryer found racial differences, which is in accord with public perception and other studies.
Also, these conversations reveal who actually paid attention in statistics class.
That study is the best that's out there, nardfrog. Of course i'm not saying it's a 100% accurate.
Well I got an A in stats, so get mumped Nardfrog!
You're right. That Harvard Professor is a real dumbass.
Mr. Fryer emphasizes that the work is not the definitive analysis of police shootings, and that more data would be needed to understand the country as a whole.
The study did show that black people are about 20% more likely to be mistreated by means other than getting shot. I'm not sure how reliable those numbers are if the numbers that say they are no more likely to get shot can't be used, though.
